The 2024 US presidential election has concluded, with Republican candidate Donald Trump emerging victorious over Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. According to multiple media reports citing sources close to the Harris campaign, Vice President Harris is expected to formally concede the election in the early hours of Thursday, following a grueling campaign that saw the two rivals locked in a tight contest for months.
President Joe Biden, who is expected to call the president-elect to offer his congratulations, will also publicly address the nation on the election outcome. Vice President Harris' concession speech is scheduled to take place at Howard University in Washington, D.C., her alma mater, where she is expected to address her supporters and the nation. Although the election has concluded, some states are still counting ballots and the full results are not yet finalized.
Despite this, President-elect Trump declared victory on Wednesday, securing a decisive win with 277 electoral votes, well exceeding the 270 needed for the presidency. He addressed his supporters at a victory party in West Palm Beach, Florida, urging the nation to unite and move beyond the divisions of the past four years. The outcome of the election marks a return to power for Donald Trump, who had been seeking to reclaim the White House after his defeat in the 2020 election. The results signal a shift in the political landscape of the United States, with implications that will reverberate across the country and the world.
